...I'm sure we beat the world record for crossing the Bay of Biscay....we were over in 2 days and 19 hours covering 553 miles.....it was a case of sit down and hold on tight, winds didn't drop below 25 knots until the end of the journey with gusts exceeding 40 knots at times......the crossing was made easier due to the fact we had 'Roger the Cabin Boy' with us and willing to take his turn at doing a night watch.....

...We found a safe anchorage in northern Spain, a small fishing town called Camarinas which played host to us for 3 days before lack of fuel forced us to move on to Porto; about 100 miles down the coast in Portugal....during this short voyage we were entertained by a few dolphins, which Tim photgraphed and these are posted below, leaving out the other 70-80 photos of the water where the dolphin was/should have been!!

...Our next passage will be down to Lagos, starting on Sunday if the weather is good but in the mean time we're chilling out, drinking vinho verde and eating squid...mmmmmm
